I don’t see this ending well.

My great grandfather donated that lightbulb, and it will NEVER BE CHANGED.

I’ll do it.

This is what I like. A congregation with a sporting sensibility.

They’d better start forming a human pyramid. Those lights are pretty high.

Try, “Let there be light!” before anyone gets hurt…?

We had a latter.

Is this supposed to be a test of faith?

[Perhaps it’s a demonstration of the foolishness of man (humans).]

Hey, Stretch, come on over here and help.

All the one on top has to do is hold the lightbulb, and all the one on bottom has to do is spin.

Oh… and while they’re at it… GREEN PLAID ALERT!!! EVERYBODY DO A SHOT!

I was in church and wondered how they changed the light bulbs in our church.

Doesn’t Jacob have a ladder?

Nope. If God needs light in there, he’ll make it happen.

Bleeb has his hand up

So Bleeb is in a great spot. He has his eyes on Dalcon, and for the moment he is feeling safe since Dalcon is pretty far away, well below him and seems to be looking the wrong way. Bleeb is also thinking that this light bulb changing project has observational possibilities.

Some congregations go to great heights to save a buck!

Haha, I witnessed this in the Nazarene Church years ago…we said, “How many Nazarenes does it take to get on and turn the ladder?” It was pretty high up…

Light some candles. You do have candles, right?

Bleeb is blending in well in the window. He should just stay there till Dalcon gives up and goes away.

Dalcon has his club ready; as soon as the stack of people is high enough, he will run out and smash the bottom guy’s toe.

Wonder how much the guy at the bottom deadlifts

Wouldn’t they prefer to be kept in the dark? Ignorance is bliss and all that.

This is how the bottom guy got a hump and the job of ringing the bells.

There are tools for this sort of job. But since the pastor needs a new mansion that will have to wait.

Very surprised to see a ne’er-do-well like Dalcon in church.

Dalcon in church? He has a lot of repenting to do.

Oh well, church is canceled for tomorrow. But, the golf course is open!

They can’t afford to get a tall ladder ?
